They had a U.S. affiliate in Stillwater, Oklahoma, but they might no longer be doing it.

Here is a diesel in a Tigé.


Hopefully someone will have some info that would help.

I am aware of this company. They do offer a Duramax crate motor ready to drop in. the bad thing is they cost $50k and have to come with full emissions including DPF.

I was just thinking you might be able to contact the guys in Stillwater regarding drive ratio and prop pitch. I have no idea how helpful they would be.

Not concerned about the perfect pass at this time. We will have to see if it can still be utilized.

We need the following V Drive (ZF-63-IV-1.294 ratio in position A) Any help getting one of these will be appreciated.


Thank you Greg at Acme props for the assistance so far. Im sure we will be needing much more when this project hits the water.
